Balancing and sequencing of assembly lines
A Scholl, A Scholl - 1999 - Springer
It is dealt with two main decision problems which arise when flow-line production systems
are installed and operated. The assembly line balancing problem consists of partitioning the …

Empirical evaluation of exponential and independence assumptions in queueing models of manufacturing systems
RR Inman - Production and Operations Management, 1999 - journals.sagepub.com
This paper presents actual data (processing times, interarrival times, cycles‐between‐
failures, and time‐to‐repair) from two automotive body welding lines. The purpose is twofold …

A discrete-time Markov production-inventory model with machine breakdowns
NE Abboud - Computers & Industrial Engineering, 2001 - Elsevier
A machine produces an item at a constant rate, which is assumed to be greater than the
demand rate, and the demand is assumed to be known and constant. While operating, the …

Throughput of a constant work in process manufacturing line subject to failures
WJ Hopp, ML Spearman - The International Journal Of Production …, 1991 - Taylor & Francis
We consider a production line consisting of several machines in tandem operating under a
constant work in process (CONWIP) control strategy. We assume that processing times are …

An EMQ model with inspections and random machine failures
V Makis, J Fung - Journal of the Operational Research Society, 1998 - Taylor & Francis
Abstract In the classical Economic Manufacturing Quantity (EMQ) model, it is assumed that
all items produced are of perfect quality and the production facility never breaks down …

Balancing–sequencing procedure for a mixed model assembly system in case of finite buffer capacity
In the last decades, the necessity to make production more versatile and flexible has forced
assembly line production systems to change from fixed assembly lines to mixed model …
